How it Works

Shower-Safe works by placing the silver and copper mesh beads in the shower head and in the flexible shower hose where the plastic lining is particularly vulnerable to the development of the biofilm. Filter washers between the head and the hose and between the hose and the mixer valve retain the beads in their required locations.

After use of the shower, the silver and copper beads fall to the bottom of the shower head and to the bottom of the flexible hose, along with any of the water that is retained. In this environment of stagnant water the silver and copper ions do their work.
